Chapter 116 "Pirates"

Jiang Liu did not return to the capital until the ninth day of the lunar month.

He did not fly directly from Nanjing to the capital, but transferred to Qingdao to plan a secret visit to the current Farmer.

During this unannounced visit, Jiang Liu really gained something. He caught the clue and discovered that the factory used herbs that were not old enough as the puree for Farmer.

Outside the puree pool, the river sprayed Zhou Guoshan all over his head and face.

Zhou Guoshan's excuses such as "there are too many orders, the stored herbs are used up, and the age difference is only one year without affecting the taste and quality" are all nonsense in Jiang Liu's view, and they are essentially compromising for money.

Thinking of telling Zhou Guoshan "one of the qualities" again and again, something like this happened.

Jiang Liu immediately asked workers to haul out more than 2000 cans of farmland produced with two-year herbal medicine, and asked Zhou Guoshan, Wu Gang and other managers, as well as employee representatives to present it in front of the entire factory, park cadres, and many customers. Smash them all.

The scene was extremely spectacular.

While smashing the drink "crackling".

On one side were the employees who were dejected and weeping as they watched the drinks they had worked so hard to produce and which could have been immediately cashed in were destroyed.

Finally, Zhou Guoshan's impassioned and tearful speech brought the atmosphere to the climax.

Jiang Liu was standing by the window of Zhou Guoshan's office and was very happy when he saw this scene.

If this piece of video material spreads, it is destined that Farmer Gong will become one of the cornucopias he holds.

This kind of marketing is simply a blockbuster!
"If I say no, it won't work. You should do the things at hand first."

"I told you not to delay things, why not?"

In the capital, Yixin Film and Television Company, Jiang Liu just stepped into the office and heard two arguments.

Jiang Liu put down his luggage and asked out of curiosity: "What's going on? There's so much noise during the New Year."

He Jing, who is in charge of the film business and has nothing to do with himself, said speechlessly: "Boss, what time is it? You are still celebrating the New Year!"

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Take your time."

Jiang Liu chuckled and looked at Xing Aina and Shen Yan who were arguing: "Shen Yan, you haven't gone to record "Avenue of Stars" yet."

""Avenue of Stars" can catch up with the broadcast speed of Goose TV. Boss, I want to make a script. It is a modern drama with not much cost. It will not affect "Avenue of Stars"."

"Do you have the script?"

"It's a novel called "You Are Not Married"." Shen Yan left Xing Aina and handed the novel to Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu didn't answer. He had never heard of the show. It was obviously not popular, but in order to win over Shen Yan, he still said: "Then you can film it, Anna. Talk to the author and buy the copyright."

Before Xing Aina could refute, Jiang Liu added: "When I went back to my hometown during the Spring Festival, I heard a friend mention a game called "Legend of Sword and Fairy", so I bought the film and television adaptation rights of this game."

"Ning Hao also wants some funding. His script is called "Incense"."

Xing Aina originally wanted to refuse, but rolled her eyes and said.

Jiang Liu smiled and said, "You wrote the script, right? So, don't blame Shen Yan. Everyone has selfish motives. You are free to do whatever you like without delaying the work arranged by the company."

Shen Yan nodded frequently while listening and flattered him: "Boss is far-sighted, no wonder Yi Xin is full of energy. Boss, this is my first time filming, please give me some advice."

"Other than abiding by the crew's rules, I don't have any suggestions. You will also be a director in the future, so just know what is most important to a director."

"I'm really not sure, can you tell me?"

Jiang Liu glared: "It's good to make money. This circle doesn't care about the director's moral character, star attraction, indiscriminate relations between men and women, or public urination and defecation. What matters is whether you can make money for the employer!" That's how this circle works. Reality.

Shen Yan left silently, and Jiang Liu dug out the code-named "2003 New Year's Day" script with a few characters and devoted himself to writing it.

His script is an adaptation of the Korean comedy film "Pirates".

After adapting the plot, he was not sure whether the domestic audience would accept it, so he was preparing the project with the mentality of giving it a try because the cost was not high.

He had thought about filming "Crazy Stone" before Ning Hao, while Xu Zheng was filming comedy movies such as "On the Road", "Hong Kong", or "The Unknown".

Instead of doing this, he had the idea that even if "Pirates" failed at the box office, he would have enough time to turn the situation around.

On another point, Jiang Liu believes that there are not many comedy movies in the country, and if you make one less movie, it is better to castrate the neighboring countries first.

In addition, his film "Pirates" can also compete with "Pirates of the Caribbean" currently being produced by Disney in Hollywood.

He had already made up his mind.

If "Pirates" does well at the box office, he will change some of the exciting plot points in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel and then copy them into "Pirates 2".

He felt no guilt about this.

In 1403, the Korean mission asked the Ming Dynasty for a jade seal for the king of Korea.

The mission encountered a ghost whale at sea, and the whale swallowed the jade seal, which triggered a sea drama in which pirates, bandits, the government, and the mission chased the whale and snatched the jade seal.

While Jiang Liu was concentrating on conceiving and adding storylines, Hou Xiaobao took a stack of photos on his desk: "Boss, I'm back. These are photos of ships."

"Iron ship?" Jiang Liu frowned.

"The prop wooden boat cannot withstand the waves, so the shipyard suggested wrapping the iron boat and disguising it as a wooden boat."

"That's one idea. You're doing a good job. Let others take care of the ship. You can grab the armor, official robes and other costumes and props from the Ming Dynasty."

Hou Xiaobao nodded and said, "Okay."

"Come back." Jiang Liu stopped Hou Xiaobao and asked, "Is there any way to make a realistic whale or shark?"

"Is there an aquarium in our country now?"

"Even if there is an aquarium, the whales can still listen to the crew's instructions?" Jiang Liu said speechlessly.

"The only option is to go to a Hollywood special effects company."

Hou Xiaobao rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "You want me to contact you? I really want to go to Industrial Light and Magic to see it."

"Use your brain to research more. I always want to hire Hollywood special effects. We can afford it." Jiang Liu angrily drove Hou Xiaobao away.

He knew how to take high-speed shots of sharks galloping in the sea, but he couldn't figure out where the realistic sharks and whales came from.

After racking his brains for a long time, Jiang Liu could not help but said in a wicked way:
“If you can’t think of a solution after filming starts, you won’t take close-up shots. Instead, you’ll use long shots and wide shots to take photos of props to fool the math ball.”

"The most I can get is scolded again. After all, "Pirates" has a plot, some laughs, and the graphics are much better than "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger."

"I just don't know, when the audience is fully prepared to watch a high-quality domestic pirate movie, and then sees cute whales and sharks, will they yell, curse, get angry and destroy the cinema."
